Halfway Between 50 and 285

When you ask "What number is halfway between 50 and 285?" we assume you mean the number in the exact middle of the two numbers on a number line, as illustrated below, where X=50 and Y=285.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 50 and 285, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 50 and 285 into our formula, we get:

(50 + 285)/2 = 167.5

Thus, the number halfway between 50 and 285 is 167.5.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 50 from 167.5 and subtract 167.5 from 285 and compare the two numbers:

167.5 - 50 = 117.5
285 - 167.5 = 117.5

As you can see, the halfway number is 117.5 higher than 50 and 117.5 lower than 285. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 167.5 above is correct.
